grieving

I finally got my two girls back home. They were the two out of my trio. I miss them so much everyday. They leave such a big piece missing when they leave. I have days where I think about them. It’s hard to not have guilt. I wish there were things I could have done so they’d still be here today...

This is my first post and to be honest it's a hard one. I've come on here to not feel so alone in this grieving process and sorry if I've posted in the the wrong thread. December 2023 our piggies Maisie had blood in her urine. We only rescued her in June 2023 to add to our very small herd but...

Hello, We are brand new to posting on here but come directly here for help and support for our two little pigs Edie and Dede all the time! Tonight our beautiful little piggie Dede very suddenly passed away. She has a very swollen moth and couldn’t swallow, she keep gagging and was very limo...

We're just going through it over here. So, I lost my Guts today. And at the vets yesterday, she mentioned he had some lice. Which was surprising, considering they're indoor piggies, but it could have been an off bag of hay or a hospital stay I suppose. Either way, now my last boy, Bert has...

Hi everyone, Today was a VERY unexpectedly bad day. My guinea pig, since her checkup in August, has just kept getting thinner. She LOVED to eat, and always took her veggies, but she just could not keep her weight. Last night, she was perfectly normal. This morning, I woke up and she showed...

As some of you may now, our little big guy Nibbler went to round 10 in his 4th battle with URI/Pneumonia on Monday, 9/12/22. He fought all the way to the end but was unable to pull through. He was a real special pig and persevered through so much in his 6 and a 1/2 years with us. His body began...

I’ve been crying all day yesterday and today. And i feel like no one cares because “its just a guinea pig” Her name is Guppy and she was 5 years old and had her for 4 years. She was my best friend and i first got her at a very low point in my life, and having her helped me so much mentally, now...

Need advice & guidance. Monday we lost 1 of our 3 piggals. The 2 are melancholy from losing baby sister. What can we do to help their grieving? They eat and drink minimally but haven't made a peep since Monday. My kids and I are distraught, please help us help them.

Hello, I need some help for my guinea Bailey. Yesterday his buddy Bear sadly passed away. Bailey is almost 2 years old and was the dominant one and did nip bear once but they got along well. He is grieving (laying where bear was found, not moving much and generally not being his squeaky self!)...

My baby Oreo died this morning, she was my first guinea pig and my first one to lose. It’s so strange to not see her in her cage munching on some veg. She was a fantastic guinea pig who was the big boss of everyone. She was so cute and cuddly! She could also be stubborn and moody but that was...

Today Ben lost his lifelong friend Jerry. They didn't live together (in cages on top of each other) and rarely spent time together other than floor time (still separated by cage), Ben was definitely the dominant piggy and seemed to get annoyed when Jerry would try to cuddle him etc. What I'm...

yesterday I had to have one of my Guinea pigs put to sleep, unfortunately he left behind his companion who was his best friend and also his son. I know I have to leave him to his grieving stage, and he's obviously struggling as he won't even let me clean his cage out, so I'm going to leave him...
